LIFE UPDATE

Location: BY THE SEA

I haven’t been on here for a while because, well, LIFE! I had to replace my tires, get some work done on my car, drive out to Riverside for a few days, and so on and so forth. Our lease is coming to an end and we knew we would have to move because the price of rent in our current home is beginning to weigh on our income. It’s just so expensive. We’ve found a new spot, a bit further north, although still coastal. We’re waiting on our application to go through, so fingers crossed! We’re in a bit of a limbo as we need time to really hunt for a more permanent home, but we don’t want to rush into anything or get trapped in another year long lease, so we’re going to settle somewhere for six months or so, and then go month to month until the right place comes along!Harlow is teething…still. I’ve talked about it before, but it’s been a completely different experience than Luca’s. He’s on the verge of walking, but we’ve been saying that for weeks. He’s so stubborn, I swear he’s just holding out for when we aren’t looking. He’s taken two baby steps so far and that is the extent of it all! Hard to believe, but Harlow turned 11 months on the 8th of April, and I’m still trying to contain my tears as his first birthday approaches. I still don’t have this mom gig figured out in the slightest. I think it’s all just continual progress, lessons learned, and being flexible. I’m definitely trying to give myself more grace during this stage of growing up.Speaking of which, Luca is growing like never before. I blinked and the toddler phase was just gone. He’s totally his own person, with opinions, questions, preferences, and so on. I can’t believe he’ll be turning FOUR!! (in July….)What??? Time really is a thief, here one second, gone the next. Lately his favorite things to do include soccer, going to preschool, playing at the park, night swimming with dad, and practicing his easter egg hunt and find skills.Speaking of growing older, this old blog here will be 4 years old on the 2oth this month! I am so proud if it, mainly because, it’s my journal I’ve continuously kept for the past four years, and those four years have been some of the best times I’ve ever known. I hope to keep holding on to that and continue contributing to this place. You can go back and read my very first post HERE –I do warn, the picture quality is awful! But you blog and you learn! haha. Thank you for reading along whether you’ve just joined the party or have been here all along. I appreciate your company here more than you could ever know! Hope to be back here more often very soon! Until then…
